What I like most is the delicious food and the autumn because I have missed it for a long time. Due to the abundance of sunshine and mild climate, my hometown has an ideal environment for many kinds of north fruits, like apple, pear and peach. Same orchards have been run for more than thousand years, which can produce a big mount of fruits and attract many tourists to enjoy the view. And I love the autumn in my hometown when the fallen leaves are all over the sky and the world turns into gold. Although my hometown is a small town, now it is built very beautiful. You know our country will build Xiongan district where is near my hometown, Beijing will put some functions to this district. My hometown is classified into the Beijing economic circle. So the development prospect of my hometown is very good.
My hometown is a common town, it doesn’t have much natural views. Actually, I think I like the peace in the village where I grew up when I was a small child. At that time, we didn’t have modern lifestyle. I lived in the village, helping my grandparents do some farm work and playing with my little friends. Especially in summer and autumn when the crops were ripe , my school would give us vacation to help our family do some farm works, like cutting wheat, breaking off the corn. I think it was a amazing memory in my life. In the future, if I have time, I want to live there for some days. But I wouldn’t settle in there because Shanghai can provide better opportunities for my work.

Some of these  orchards originated/(date back to) more than a thousand years ago, which can produce a big amount of crops and attract many tourists to enjoy the picturesque view.

I love the autumn in my hometown when the fallen leaves are all over the sky and the world turns into gold. Although my small hometown was built 400 years ago, the new developments are very beautiful. You know, China will build Xiongan District which is near my hometown and Beijing will relocate some Public Service HQ there. My hometown is classified/categorised in the Beijing Tianjin Hebei integration, so the development prospects of my hometown are very good.
My hometown is a common place, it doesn’t have a lot of natural scenery. Actually, I think I like the peace in the village where I grew up when I was a small child. At that time, we didn’t have a modern lifestyle. I lived in the village, helping my grandparents do some farm work and playing with my friends. Especially in summer and autumn when the crops were ripe, my school would give us vacation to help our family around/on the farm, like cutting wheat, breaking the corn off the stalks.

It is an amazing memory in my life.
Life on the countryside is one of the happiest memories in my life.

In the future, if I have time, I want to own some land/property there so I can go back whenever I want. However, I wouldn’t settle down there because Shanghai provides better work opportunities.
